Delightful house with historic features and contemporary extension to provide a very comfortable light filled kitchen/dining/family room with a nice little and secure garden and a parking space too.
A comfortable and well equipped family house with a small garden full of flowers and with good dining facilities. Huge array of toys to appeal to under 10yr olds. Attractive bedrooms with quality linen.
What a beautiful home, so spacious and stylish yet very homely. It was so well equipped we were able to cook some lovely meals and the children enjoyed playing with all the lovely toys available. The garden was just perfect for relaxing and dining. It really was like a home from home and we would love to come back!
Lovely property with beautiful extension made it the perfect family holiday with plenty of space and so close to Swanage beach and town centre. Also tons of toys to keep the kids happy and books and games for the adults. Thank you very much for a fabulous holiday.
We as a family, had a lovely holiday in this Property. The facilities and equipment provided were excellent. Everything that we needed for our holiday. The weather was even kind , we seemed to miss the worse of the storms. We would certainly stay in this property again.
We had a lovely time the communication was excellent and there was a nice welcome pack and note on arrival . We loved the kitchen / diner / lounge and great garden with good furniture. our children were older but lots of games toys etc if little ones. Location felt residential but only about 12 mins walk to town .
Fab info pack with recommendations on restaurants places to visit etc.
We were unsure on how to use the tv so messaged Maia who got straight back to us .
Overall a very enjoyable stay thank you !
Lovely Family House with everything you need for a holiday with children..Clean & Bright and modern..Comfortable & quiet..Pretty contained garden..Very dog friendly..Not far to walk into town..Owners are very helpful & willing to make sure you have all you need for a great holiday..we all loved it 10/10
Great booking process and communication with the owners. Ideal location for what we wanted. Just slightly further out of the town away from the hustle and bustle but just a short walk to puds and the beach.
Property was spacious and clean and ideal for 4 adults and 2 kids with room to spare.
Plenty of home from home comforts so we could focus on the holiday.
Already pencilled in our trip for next year.

Lovely Christmas in Swanage!
Lights were twinkling on the Christmas tree and the wreath as we drove up adding to the magic of Christmas, the house was very welcoming and Maia had left some beautifully thoughtful gifts for the children underneath the tree. Ideal situation for walking everywhere so cars hardly left the drive. We hadn't realised that the house was a family home for most of the year and the children certainly enjoyed playing with different toys of which there were lots! Maia was really helpful and answered any query really quickly. Building work necessitated staying somewhere away from home for Christmas, we will certainly be doing it again!

A glorious holiday!
Returnng to Swanage after over 60 years, I wasn't disappointed! The house was beautifully presented and comfortable; all of us could enjoy its facilities and it was only a ten-minute attractive walk to the middle of town and the beach. There was plenty for all the three generations in our party to do. The hosts generously allowed visitors to use their children's toys and there were books available for all ages. However, we were fortunate with the weather and spent almost all our time outdoors enjoying the local attractions: steam railway, Corfe Castle with its model village as well as the castle, boat trip, fish and chips, coast path walks, the beach, galleries, cafes, ... .
The house was easily accessible for those of who travelled by train and all contact with the owner was speedy and welcoming.
Our seven-year-old grandson's first words as they drew away from the house were, 'When can we come on holiday to Swanage again?'

Fabulous Holiday
We had a fantastic time in Swanage, as always. Four generations of the family stayed in this lovely house and there was something for every one. The accommodation is first class, comfortable,clean and spacious. The garden basques in the sun until late evening - ideal for bbqs. This is not your average rental property it has a whole host of things to make it a home from home. I would recommend the house to anybody. We are hoping to repeat our stay there in the future. A big thank you to the owners for making our holiday so comfortable.

Spacious, well appointed house in a lovely town.
The house is spacious and well equipped (except no toaster) and in a convenient location. We had a great time. There are excellent places to eat around Swanage so we didn't do any cooking. Highlight was a meal in the Scott Arms in Kingston - the view is breath taking and the food is good. Many thanks for letting us stay there.

Brilliant
Lovely house with modern decor. Really spacious for us and our 6 kids. Nice little garden, just big enough and with a BBQ and decking area perfect on a nice evening. Close enough to the action that our cars didn't move off the driveway all week. Great food at the Black Swan 5 mins down the road. Excellent holiday let with lovely owners. Thank you!

Great property!
Had a great family holiday here in Aug2017. House is just like the photos, and is more like a home than a holiday let.
10 mins walk into Swanage, Pub and shop 5 mins away. 2 parking spaces. Really comfy beds and quality bedding. The kitchen Is fully equipped, all mod cons, gas BBQ and a terraced garden.
Loads of toys for kids, handy when it rains! Beach equipment is also available. My only suggestion for improvement would be a larger fridge in the kitchen. There is a second fridge in the shed, so it's only a small issue.
Fab week, would not hesitate to stay again if we visit Swanage in the future and will recommend to friends and family.
Communication with the owners was also first class.
